“For over a year now my Scout will uncontrollably rev in low gears after getting hot. This happens at stops and going into turns most commonly. Multiple times it has almost caused me to wreck and if I were a less experienced rider I would have. I have contacted multiple dealers to attempt an under warranty fix and have been told they have fix and that they arent even aware of the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10870222, filed 2016-05, 600 miles“When decelerating for normal stops, turns, or slow traffic conditions, the engine will decrease rpms until it reaches about 2300 RPM, then it either hangs at that RPM or surges into an uncontrolled RPM chane of 1700 to 2400. This up aand down RPM change has lasted for 30-45 seconds sometimes even longer. The RPM will also remain at high idle apx 1500 before returning to idle of 1100 RPM. This occurs during every ride. …”
